               further  obligation  or  liability  to you or  relating  to  your
               employment or this Agreement, other than the Accrued Payment.

               Termination of Benefits

               Except for any right of continuation of benefits  coverage to the
               extent  provided by applicable  law, all benefits shall terminate
               pursuant to the terms of the  applicable  benefit plans as of the
               Termination Date.

               Breach of Confidentiality/Non-Compete/Cessation of Severance

               If,  following  termination  of  employment by PTI other than for
               cause,   PTI  believes  you  have  committed  a  breach  of  your
               confidentiality  and/or  non-compete  obligations  as  set  forth
               below, PTI shall notify you in writing  providing  details of the
               alleged  breach,  and within 30 days thereafter you shall provide
               to the Company any  information  you have  refuting that a breach
               has occurred.  If you and PTI are not able to settle the claim of
               breach within 60 days,  then the parties shall submit the dispute
               to  arbitration  in accordance  with the  Commercial  Arbitration
               Rules  of  the  American  Arbitration  Associations  ("AAA").  An
               arbitrator  shall be jointly chosen by the parties from a list of
               AAA  arbitrators  and  any  hearings  shall  be  held  at the AAA
               locations nearest the Company headquarters. The fees and costs of
               the  arbitration and  administrative  fees,  excluding  attorneys
               fees, shall be borne equally by the parties.  If you are found to
               have  committed  a  breach  of   confidentiality  or  non-compete
               obligations through the arbitration process,  then PTI shall have
               the  right  to   immediately   cease  payment  of  all  Severance
               Payments.

               Non-competition

               You and PTI  recognize  that your services are special and unique
               and that your  compensation  is partly  in  consideration  of and

               a covenant  on your part not to compete  during  your  employment
               with PTI is  essential  to protect the  business  and goodwill of
               PTI. Accordingly,  you agree that during your employment with PTI

               which  competes  with the Business (as herein  defined) of PTI or
               any of  its  subsidiaries,  in any  market  in  which  PTI or its
               subsidiaries,  is actively  engaged in sales  either  during your
               employment with PTI or as of the Termination Date. Business means

               your  employment  with  PTI  and  as  of  the  Termination  Date,
               including,   but  not  limited   to,  the  design,   development,

               minimum this market is the United  States of America and that the
